From the producers of "The Smoking Ban," bring you "The Food Ban"

[ice grillin you]

i dont have any high horse opinion...i say keep them both...people wanna committ slow suicide them go for it


i cant believe you just linked the words benefit and cigarettes

cigarettes kill and are made for one reason and one reason only...to get people to smoke more cigarettes via additction....i guess so that they get the "benefit" of putting more death and disease causing chemicals into their bodies

Bill Hicks:

"They always say "It's the secondary smoke.  It's not the smoke that you smoke but the smoke that comes out of you.  Thats called secondary smoke.  And thats not good smoke just because it came out of you.  Shut the farg up right now.  God damn it if I don't smoke there's going to be secondary bullets coming your way.  I'm farging tense."

Ha!

you're not nearly as sharp as you think you are.

First, eat my ass Beermonkey.
Second, cigarettes offer no benefit to their customers other than a benefit that they themselves generate by being addictive.
Third, this is an idiotic conversation. Transfats are bad. Everyone agrees. But banning them outright is ridiculous and should be unnecessary.

[Diomedes]

If cigarettes offered no benefit, people would not smoke.

[rjs246]

If transfats offered no benefit, chefs would not use them as ingredients.

FLAWED LOGIC.

[Diomedes]

Funny you should mention flawed logic.  We aren't talking about the people selling the cigarettes, we're talking about the people who smoke them.   We aren't talking about the people who cook with transfats, we're talking about the people who consume them.

Feeling's mutual, ass licker.

ass licking has no benefits

Asbestos offers the benefit of not only being a fantastic insulator, but fire-proof to boot. Why can't I have my asbestos insulation back, god damn it?!?! This is a free country & I'll be damned if some lefty in Washington is going to tell me what I can fill my walls with.

Next thing you know, they'll be telling me I can't use my fen phen. farging commies.

Seriously, why the passion over something that most people weren't aware of until the ban came up?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Are you saying ATM should be banned?

[Beermonkey]

I disagree, I found that a sneak ass lick sometimes yields fanatastic results.

It's principle. I don't particularly care about transfats, cigarettes or skinny models. None of them have anything to do with me because I don't smoke, I eat whatever the hell I want regardless and  prefer women with tits and ass.

The point is that the government has started a trend of sticking its nose in where it has no business being. This isn't a child care facility we're living in. This is life. We are adults and if we want to suck asbestos through a straw until we're more cancer than human, that should be our right.

Your underlying point is valid. Who cares, right? Why should anyone get in a huff about this. I'll tell you why. The more these laws get passed and the more people say "Who cares" the closer we get to big brother. It's a slippery slope and we're already losing out footing.

Also, I'm not from Boston. farger.

This will not fascilitate the conversation in anyway, but whatever.

At the newspaper I intern for, this week alone, I've transcribed three different page long letters (hand written) from some dude about politicians. Except they turn into him complaining about the smoking ban three sentences in. I don't get it. A simple letter saying you disagree with it is fine. But three different page long ones in one week, and that doesn't count the weeks before and time before I started there, is nuts. Crazy old moterfargers in South Philly.
